Hi, Im really confused. I recently had Skyinstall a dish and box (with card). This gives me basic TV channels without any monthly contract. Only one of the twin cables goes into my new box.
Id like to put a TV in a second room using the second cable from the Sky dish and into box which I hope to obtain on Ebay. I do not have a roofaerial.
My problem is: If I buy a Freeview box, can I get TV channels using the cable from the Sky dish or do I need a separate roof aerial?
If I buy a Sky standarddigital box second hand through Ebay do I need a Card to operate it or can these work without a card being installed. I assume I can connect it to the Sky dish.
